Title: Building A Custom Four-Car Garage: What You Need To Know


1
Building A Custom Four-Car Garage What You Need
To Know
Due to factors like larger families and the
desire for more storage space, the demand for
multi-car parking garages has been on the rise.
And with proper planning and correct dimensions,
you can convert the entire buying process into a
smooth journey. But first, the local codes. Since
four-car metal garages are large spaces, you will
need to know the maximum square feet allowed for
a dwelling unit.
The next thing to consider is the design and the
layout whether you want side-by-side or tandem
parking. Decide accessories like vents,
insulation, and others for airflow, moisture
control, and easy access. With this information,
you can easily install a multi-functioning garage
space.

  • Four Car Garage Construction 101 A
  • Comprehensive Guide
  • Planning
  • Size How big is a four car garage?
  • The usual size is about 48 ft. x 20 ft. for
    side-by-side parking and 24 ft. x 40 ft. for
    tandem parking. You can choose a larger size,
    such as 30 ft. x 40 ft. 50 ft. x 60 ft. or 40
    ft. x 50 ft. You can compare 40 ft. wide building
    pricing features, and options like
    customization durability for parking four
    vehicles. The extra space can be your workshop,
    home office, personal gym, or storage area for
    household stuff.
  • Wondering what is the minimum size of a 4-car
    metal garage? Minimum dimension is 40 ft. x 18
    ft. side-by-side and 20 ft. x 36 ft. tandem.
    And how many square feet is a four car garage?
    800 square feet is the average size of a 4-car
    parking garage, but you can choose a larger one
    that has extra storage space.
  • Layout
  • Since a modern 4 car garage can hold four
    vehicles, you can choose between two types of
    layout depending on how frequently you want to
    access all your cars.
  • Side-by-side parking Here, all four vehicles are
    parked next to each other.
  • This type of parking requires a wider driveway
    and open space to maneuver.
  • Tandem parking Here, cars are parked in two
    rows. To access the car inside, you need to
    remove the one first. It may seem a bit of a
    hassle, but it is

  • excellent for a narrow driveway or if you want to
    use half of the garage for
  • other activities.
  • 1.3) Design
  • You can choose between all vertical/ horizontal
    metal garages and vertical roofs but horizontal
    wall panels. The benefit of a vertical roof
    garage is that it slides off most dust, debris,
    snow, and rainwater, requiring less frequent
    cleaning. It is also sturdy with extra purlins,
    braces, and support, giving maximum safety and
    protection against outdoor elements.
  • Permits
  • Comply with local building codes and regulations
    to avoid any future issues or penalties. Usually,
    dwelling units are allowed to be up to 1000 sq.
    ft. in size, but check in with your local zoning
    office to confirm. Consider setback rules from
    your property line and home before choosing an
    installation site. The permit for a 4 car garage
    will average cost between 150 to 500.
  • Note You will also need a permit to install
    HAVC, electrical/ plumbing lines, or fences. To
    convert it into a four car garage house, you will
    also need a permit 800 to 1500.
  • Budgeting
  • Lets break down the cost of materials and
    construction. Installing a steel building costs
    between 25 and 45 per sq. ft. However, there
    are multiple factors that affect the price of a
    metal garage, namely, steel market price, size,
    customization, and location. About 40 of the
    total budget will go towards buying raw materials,

  • 15 in site preparation foundation, 15 to
    construction permit, and the
  • remaining 20 includes insulation, accessories,
    and basic interior finishing.
  • 3.1) How Much Does It Cost To Build A 4 Car
    Garage?
  • It all boiled down to the specifications. For
    example, a prefab side entry metal garage with
    dimensions 26 ft. wide x 40 ft. long and a height
    of 9 ft. costs 15k. In case you are wondering
    how much it costs to build a two story four car
    garage, a 44 ft. wide, 40 ft. deep, and 18 ft.
    tall metal building start at 41k.
  • Hiring A Contractor
  • A 4 car garage is a large space that needs more
    than two hands for working. Therefore, it is
    crucial to find the right professional for the
    job. At Viking Metal Garages, we provide
    installation service, which is included in our
    final quote for your convenience.
  • Construction Process Of 4-Car Garages
  • After the above steps are completed, its time to
    start with construction. Here are the timeline
    and key steps involved
  • Site preparation for leveling ground laying the
    foundation.
  • Checking if all raw materials have arrived.
  • Start by installing base rails, leg posts, and
    anchors.
  • Next, install rafters, hat channels, purlins, and
    braces.
  • Now, you can install roof panels and secure it
    with a screw. We offer matching color screws for
    a seamless look.
  • Add structural trim for roof panels support.
  • Install side walls and panels. Use fasteners to
    secure them.

  • And your metal garage is ready. Of course, this
    is the simplest design with a frame
  • and metal wall panels. Thats it. Now, lets move
    on to installing crucial accessories.
  • Features To Consider For Four-Car Garage
  • Insulation
  • A 4 car garage size is large, which makes it
    susceptible to condensation. Insulators with
    correct R-value varies with climatic zone can
    help reduce heat transfers and moisture buildup.
    But what is the most effective insulation for a
    garage? You can choose fiberglass, rigid panel,
    or spray foam insulation. We provide a double
    bubble and woven R17 insulator that has superior
    thermal protection durability.
  • Now, how much does it cost to insulate a four car
    garage house? The exact price will vary depending
    on the type of insulation and its thickness. For
    example, double bubble costs around .35 per sq.
    ft., fiberglass popular costs about 0.44 per
    sq. ft., mineral wool costs about 0.75 per sq.
    ft., woven R17 costs around 1.50 per sq. ft.,
    and cellulose costs about 0.15 per sq. ft.
  • Ventilation
  • With ventilation, you can remove moist, warm air
    and bring in a fresh breeze. But, how to
    ventilate a four car garage? Simply open windows
    and doors for some air to
  • enter. There are two types of ventilation systems
    for 4-car garages, and can be used in hybrid
    form. You can invest in floor/ ceiling fans,
    exhaust fans, garage vent fans, etc., for a more
    controlled mechanical vent system.
  • Lighting
  • Whether for parking, storage, or accessing
    workspace, light is necessary to avoid any
    accidents. Wondering how many lumens do I need
    for a 4 car garage. About

6
  • 8000 to 10000 is enough for a garage. An LED
    recessed ceiling light, LED high bay
  • light, flush-mounted LED ceiling lights, etc.,
    are some of the best types of lighting for a
    garage.
  • Flooring And Security Options
  • Go for polished concrete, epoxy flooring, vinyl
    tiles, or stone/ rubber floors for a durable and
    long-lasting floor that can bear heavy traffic
    spills. For security, you can integrate IoT
    devices like motion sensor cameras lights,
    surveillance system alarm, reinforced doors,
    smart locks auto garage openers.
  • Bonus Personalizing Your Space
  • Add unique touches to make it yours. These can be
    personalized signage, a mural, or any artwork.
    You can also add furniture, floating shelves, and
    clear bins to organize items. A 4 car metal
    garage adds value to your home by adding square
    footage and providing functional space. It can be
    revamped for another use easily.
  • 7) Maintainenace Tips
  • To prolong the life of any garage, maintenance is
    key. Wondering how to keep the garage in top
    condition? For metal structures, you can clean
    after installation and remove any metal shaving/
    pieces that can rub against the surface and cause
    rust. To clean them, warm water, garden hose with
    a nozzle, and mild soap is enough.
